This document serves as the Instruction Manual and Quick Setup Guide for the Amazon Basics BTR1 Bluetooth Audio Receiver. It provides essential information for setting up, pairing, and understanding the device's functionality, along with important safety, compliance, and disposal details.

Function Description:

The Amazon Basics BTR1 is a Bluetooth Audio Receiver designed to enable wireless audio streaming to existing audio systems. It allows users to connect their Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to non-Bluetooth audio equipment (e.g., home stereos, powered speakers) to play music wirelessly. The device acts as a bridge, receiving audio signals via Bluetooth and outputting them through standard audio connections.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like Bluetooth version, range, or audio codecs are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual indicates the following:

Model Number: BTR1
Product ID: B00159VBH4
Power Input: DC In (requires an external power adapter, which is included).
Audio Output: Audio Out (likely RCA L/R and/or 3.5mm AUX, as suggested by the connection diagrams).
Connectivity: Bluetooth® for wireless audio reception.
Included Accessories:
- 1x Bluetooth Audio Receiver unit
- 1x RCA to 3.5mm audio cable
- 1x Power adapter
- 1x Instruction Manual / Quick Setup Guide

Usage Features:

The BTR1 is designed for straightforward operation, focusing on ease of setup and pairing:

Simple Power Connection: The device is powered via a DC input, connecting to a standard wall socket using the provided power adapter.
LED Status Indicator: An LED light on the front of the receiver provides visual feedback on its operational status:
- Flashing Light: Indicates the device is in pairing mode, actively searching for a Bluetooth device to connect with.
- Solid Light: Indicates the device is successfully paired with a Bluetooth device.
Audio Output Options: The receiver offers flexible audio output connections to integrate with various audio systems:
- RCA L/R Audio Out: For connecting to stereo amplifiers, receivers, or powered speakers with RCA inputs. The manual shows a connection using an RCA to 3.5mm cable, implying the device itself has RCA outputs, or that the included cable facilitates this connection.
- AUX IN (3.5mm): The diagram also illustrates an AUX IN connection, which might refer to an input on the audio system rather than the receiver itself, or an alternative output method. The "Accessories not include" note next to the AUX IN suggests that a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable might be needed for this type of connection if the primary audio system uses a 3.5mm input.
Pairing Method:
1. Initiate Pairing: Press the "Pair" button on the front of the receiver. The LED will begin to flash, indicating it's in pairing mode.
2. Connect from Device: On your Bluetooth-enabled audio source (e.g., smartphone), navigate to the Bluetooth settings and select "Amazon Audio" from the list of available devices.
3. Confirmation: Once successfully paired, the LED on the receiver will change from flashing to a solid light.
Compact Design: The device features a sleek, black, square-shaped design with rounded edges, making it unobtrusive in most audio setups.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides general guidelines for safety and compliance, which indirectly relate to device maintenance and longevity:

Safety Precautions:
- Electrical Shock/Fire Hazard: Users are warned not to expose the system to rain or moisture. The "CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT OPEN" label emphasizes that there are no user-serviceable parts inside and that servicing should be referred to qualified personnel. This implies that internal maintenance by the user is not recommended or possible.
- Proper Ventilation: While not explicitly stated, the general nature of electronic devices suggests avoiding obstruction of any potential ventilation points, though the BTR1 appears to be a sealed unit.
FCC Compliance: The device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 for Class B digital devices, indicating it has been tested to ensure reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. Users are advised on measures to correct interference if it occurs (reorienting antenna, increasing separation, connecting to a different circuit, consulting a technician). Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Product Disposal Information (WEEE): The manual includes the WEEE symbol and instructions for proper disposal of the product at its end of life. This emphasizes environmental responsibility and directs users to dispose of the electronic equipment at designated recycling centers, rather than with ordinary household waste, to help conserve natural resources. This is a crucial aspect of device maintenance from an environmental perspective.

In summary, the Amazon Basics BTR1 Bluetooth Audio Receiver is a user-friendly device designed to bring wireless audio capabilities to traditional sound systems, featuring simple setup, clear status indicators, and standard audio outputs, all while adhering to important safety and environmental guidelines.
